    That's too bad. The race is going to be a lot more boring without him.

    It's not like he had any shot at all, but he torpedoed his own campaign within the first few days of his announcement.

    He barely had support in the GOP polls. The real news is that several of his top guys were Rick Perry's guys, and this may signal that he's going to get in the race.

    Perry would quickly become the favorite, IMO.

    Yeah, I think Perry would have a good shot at the nomination.

    And being governor of Texas - well, that's pretty much the best preparation you can get. I wonder if Mr. Perry has read "The Pet Goat"?

    They all resigned because he wouldn't stop eating their lunches in the fridge.

    Gingrich intended to follow much the same strategy that Giuliani followed in 2008, picking and choosing states and not being willing to campaign everywhere.

    I also think that this is an indication that Gov. Perry is considering a run.
